Had a nice day yesterday. After I had finished the chores I had to do I decided I would spend the rest of the day crafting. I have really started to enjoy entering challenges and it starts the brain thinking as you are working to a theme.

I would like to welcome new followers.. Loll.. MaryH..Lauren.. Susan.. It would be great to see you again soon,

Looking like another nice day here. Still very windy. We have had some really terrible weather and I thought it was summer BUT I must be mistaken. I am trying to get a post every day to enter some challenges but its hard to get it right but I will.

These are the backgrounds I made when Kathy came to play on Sunday. Kathy sorted out a few problems I had with entering challenges, Thank you Kathy,

What a dreadful weekend weather wise, nothing for it but to stay in and craft ..... my pal, Kathy, came round and we faffed about on the computer for a while (over coffee) and, once she'd gone, I headed to the craft table .... and here's what I came up with .....

I used the following:-

Fancy white card blank ... 5" x 7"

The flower stamp from ink-N-Rubber Expressions.

Alcohol markers to colour.

Matted and layered onto pink card stock.

White ribbon with a lace middle through which I threaded some bakers twine, to give it a different look.

Afternoon.
I always seem to fail when it comes to male cards. I found these two stamps and thought they were great.
Using pro markers I coloured the images in, [ Not sure about motor bike colours]
I mounted it on brown card.[ A snippet]
Then bakers twine to make a cross.
Again I coloured with pro markers
Backed in brown card [another smippet]
I used check ribbon to make the cross.

Afternoon all
When I went to the work shop on Saurday I was really taken with the brushos. I had played with them when Kathy the day came over and I like them and after the workshop with Barbara Daines on Satureday I was hooked. So again I really had to add them to my stash.
They arrived this morning. The colours are so great and cannot wait to play. I brought the starter kit and it has in it. Ultra Marine... Purple.... Dark Brown.... Black.....Yellow....Turquoise...Leaf Green..Lemon...Scarlet...Brilliant red...Emerald Green... Orange.

Afternoon everyone.
Had a lovely day my friend Kathy and I went to a work shop with Barbara Daines.I really had a lovely time I was not sure as it was the first workshop I had attended. We worked with Brushos and also did some work with Bleeding Art Tissue. I found it interesting. We also worked on a canvas and not really sure about that. Mind you it was the first time so maybe more pratice.

I have been using up some of my stash and have found a lot of toppers that I thought I would use up. I also have packs of backing papers. I have had these so long am not at all sure where they were brought from. You all know how it is when you start, you go into a buying frenzy and buy everything you think will be good. Then you change how you work and then are left with all this stash. So though I cannot throw it out so will use it up so I now have a lot of cards. Some I am sending away and they are going to be sold for charity.

I have been sorting out my craft stash and have found lots of toppers so thought it would be a great idea to get some of them used up. I still have some more to use and will do that some time. It seems a pity that they are just sitting there in a box. I used different stamps to stamp the background to give it more than just a white backing
